In this short article, we construct an explicit example to demonstrate that a recent claim about an extreme ancient bottleneck in the ancestry of African populations is likely a statistical artifact. Great work by our joint student @yun_deng

Super excited about this devious new method, DR EVIL, from @jgschraiber !

Two new chapters from my free online book in human genetics out this weekend! These complete Part 3 of the book, on human population structure and history: 3.3: Inferring human prehistory from genetic data [this thread] 3.4: Ancient DNA [next thread] web.stanford.edu/group/pritchar…

@patrickaturley As detailed in our email to all the coauthors, we would ask that you revisit the claims of a novel framework, given the substantial overlap of results on pages 48 onward and in Appendix I & III with results in @carl_veller & Coop 2024 and Veller, @molly_przew, and Coop 2023

Jews who feel safe in London speak out: Saying ‘not in my name’. Saying ‘never again’ means ‘never again’ for everyone. Demanding an end to slaughter. Voices for peace do not speak for one religion above another. They speak for humanity.

Congratulations to @carl_veller on the publication of his article on confounding in population and family GWAS @PLOSBiology journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Exec committee of Columbia Univ Senate—the body that the President should consult pursuant to Section 444—did “not approve the presence of NYPD on our campus at this time,” Shafik "consulted" but did not gain agreement & then invited in NYPD riot squad. columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/1…

Two new chapters from my open-access textbook in human population genetics are now online: - Population structure: I. Ancestry estimation - Population structure: II. More about admixture web.stanford.edu/group/pritchar…

The following is a statement by faculty at the department of sociology at Columbia University. (1/16)

There is more to say, but for now let me tell you how proud I am of our @columbiajourn students, whom I've watched report non-stop for days, sleep on floors, support one another & give their all to bearing witness under dire conditions: pulitzer.org/news/statement… @PulitzerPrizes

The full version of our paper on the evolution of the PRDM9 and its binding sites, in light of the importance of symmetric PRDM9 binding, is now available online elifesciences.org/articles/83769

Excited that our paper addressing the limited overlap between eQTLs and GWAS hits is now published in @NatureGenet! nature.com/articles/s4158…

For the same reasons, I too will resign as reviewing editor at @eLife. Like @mbeisen, I am crushed by what happened in Israel and also deeply concerned about what is unfolding in Gaza.

I will probably end up regretting saying anything about this, but I do feel that it would be cowardly of me not to speak up on the cancellation of @mbeisen for retweeting the Onion article and expressing his opinion about the bombings and impending invasion of Gaza. 1/9

@patrickaturley @SashaGusevPosts @michelnivard @nmancuso_ There seems to be some confusion about what @carlveller and my paper shows. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to share that I'll be joining the Center for Human Genetics & Genomics at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine as an Assistant Professor in December 2023! @nyugrossman @nyulangone

A new preprint by Alexis Simon "The contribution of gene flow, selection, and genetic drift to five thousand years of human allele frequency change". Alexis's thread follows 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm delighted to release the first half of my new open-access online textbook in human population genetics: web.stanford.edu/group/pritchar…

@LBacaj Here's the entire video if someone wants to watch it youtube.com/watch?v=vtIzMa…? I discovered this a long time ago, but I didn't know how to apply it. It's packed with value. Every minute of it.
